I am an artist who revises and re-imagines history. Through making – embroidering, painting, drawing, and writing– I examine my relationship to the celebrations and grievances that accompany Mexico’s recent history, approaching them from an affective subjectivity, to challenge the heroic narratives and nationalist perspective through which official history is told. Mediating between lived experiences, my fantasies and fears, news outlets, family archives, and popular culture, I start a practice of archiving and repurposing images from and about home, developing a language that deals with the tensions between affect and impotence.
